Hwang Sang-moo, former chief of staff, reported, "The MBC report threatening the knife is fake news."

Hwang Sang-moo, former senior presidential secretary for civil society, reported to the Korea Communications Standards Commission today that the "MBC News Desk" report on the so-called "Hokal Terror Threat" was false fabrication content.

MBC previously reported on March 14 that former Chief Hwang mentioned the "Oh Hong-geun Hoe-kal Terror Incident" in the past, saying, "Listen to MBC" at a meal with reporters, including MBC."The situation at the time reported as a terrorist threat is not true at all, and it is fake news made up of deliberate excerpt editing, symbol manipulation and malicious distortion that distorted the content," said Hwang, former chief of staff
.

MBC strongly protested the Korea Communications Standards Commission's report, saying it was a threat to the media.

An MBC official said, "We accept it as a second threat to the media following the threat of a knife attack," adding, "We will respond squarely to former Chief Hwang's behavior."

The Korea Communications Standards Commission received the report this afternoon and reportedly plans to put it on the agenda for prompt deliberation and deliberate soon as former chief Hwang requested it.

According to the regulations, programs six months after the broadcast are not deliberated in principle, but they are said to be able to deliberate on content that they admit is necessary for false information, and they can deliberate because there have already been complaints received once.
